In his 1988 CBC Massey Lecture, Noam Chomsky inquires into the nature of the media in a political system where the population cannot be disciplined by force and thus must be subjected to more subtle forms of ideological control.

Negli ultimi decenni l'enfasi sulla sicurezza è stata la risposta dei governi alla crisi delle istituzioni democratiche e dello stato sociale. Ma come sono cambiati i movimenti di protesta? E cosa producono le leggi che criminalizzano il dissenso come gli ultimi pacchetti sicurezza in Italia? A venticinque anni dal G8 di Genova è il momento di chiederselo.

Un essai courageux au service d'un combat désormais inévitable contre l'intolérance, le fanatisme et l'oppression. Dans L'Islam contre la modernité , Ferghane Azihari, issu d'une famille musulmane comorienne, mais d'abord libre penseur, mène un combat intellectuel à la manière de Voltaire. À la lumière des textes fondateurs et de la géopolitique, il montre comment l'Islam a rejeté l'héritage des grandes civilisations antiques, colonisé les esprits et les peuples, et bâti un système de surveillance morale étouffant.

Scritto intorno al 1550 da Étienne de La Boétie, il Discorso sulla servitù volontaria è uno dei testi più audaci della modernità nascente. In poche, densissime pagine, l'autore affronta un enigma ancora irrisolto: come può un solo uomo dominare interi popoli se non grazie al loro stesso consenso? La Boétie smaschera l'illusione del potere fondato sulla forza e individua nell'abitudine, nell'interesse e nella rinuncia alla responsabilità individuale le vere radici della tirannide.

Procès intellectuel, procès historique, au cours duquel l'auteur retrace, avec puissance, le cheminement souterrain et idéologique du Mal. Chaque mot pèse. Chaque mot frappe. Ou apporte la douceur, évoquant les noms des disparus, des amis, leurs plumes, leurs pinceaux, leur distance ironique et tendre. Bien plus qu'une plaidoirie, un éloge de la vie libre, joyeuse et éclairée.

Rédigée au plus fort de la Révolution française, la Déclaration des droits de la femme et de la citoyenne constitue une remise en question audacieuse et sans concession d’une société qui proclamait l’égalité tout en la refusant à la moitié de sa population. Dans ce texte radical, Olympe de Gouges aborde les contradictions des idéaux révolutionnaires et demande que les femmes soient reconnues comme des citoyennes à part entière, égales en droits, en responsabilités et en dignité.

Long at the forefront of a movement advocating for gun reform as a matter of public health, Dr. Jonathan M. Metzl has been on constant media call in the aftermath of fatal shootings. But the 2018 Nashville killings led him on a path toward recognizing the limitations of biomedical frameworks for fully diagnosing or treating the impassioned complexities of American gun politics. As he came to understand it, public health is a harder sell in a nation that fundamentally disagrees about what it means to be safe, healthy, or free.

Der Politikwissenschaftler und ZEIT-Herausgeber Yascha Mounk geht dem Ursprung der neuen Ideen über Identität und soziale Gerechtigkeit nach – und erklärt, warum sie ihre hehren Ziele nicht erreichen werden. Über weite Strecken der Geschichte wurden Menschen aufgrund ihrer Ethnie, ihrer Religion oder ihres Geschlechts gewaltsam unterdrückt. Mitglieder dieser Gruppen setzten schließlich auf gegenseitige Solidarität und ein eigenes Identitätsbewusstsein, um diesen Ungerechtigkeiten zu trotzen.

Patrick Zaki in questo libro racconta la sua storia: cosa è successo davvero quel giorno e cosa è avvenuto poi, nei giorni successivi: gli interrogatori, l’isolamento, le torture, il confronto con un mondo – quello delle carceri – in cui tutti sono ridotti a una condizione disumana. E cosa lo ha tenuto vivo: gli studi, la passione per il calcio, la musica, l’affetto dei suoi cari, dell’amata Reny, dell’Italia tutta.

For six decades John Robert Lewis was a towering figure in the U.S. struggle for civil rights. As an activist and progressive congressman, he was renowned for his unshakable integrity, indomitable courage, and determination to get into "good trouble." In this biography of Lewis, Raymond Arsenault traces Lewis's upbringing in rural Alabama, his activism, his championing of voting rights and anti-poverty initiatives, and his decades of service as the "conscience of Congress."
